Draw Bridge Rules.

Rules have been issued governing rail-
road trains when approaching and trav-
ersing the draw span of the government
bridge, and of vessels when making for
and navigating the draw channel, this
season. The general rule is that railroad
trains and engines when approaching the
draw span must come to full stop three
hundred feet from the end OF the draw,
and must not move forward to the draw
until the white signal, to show that the
draw is closed and safe, has been dis
played.
There is one exception to the above
rule. and this exception is only for
freights going west up the heavy grade on
the island, These trains must slow down
to two miles an hour when approaching
the draw, and if the white (ssfe) signal
is displayed before they are within 400
feet of the bridge, they may enter upon
the draw without having TO come to a
full stop. If the white signal is not dis,
played before the train is within 400 feet
of the bridge. the train must stop quickly.
AS TO signals, stationery red flag by
day, or red light BY night at ends of
draw, signifies that the draw is not ready
for crossing Red signals must be con
stantlv in place at ends of draw. except
just before the passage of train, when
they will be exchanged for white signasl.
Trains, or engine without, must not run
at faster rate of speed than four miles
an hour when on the bridge.
The rules of vessels are short and sim
pie. When the pilot of a steamer wishes
to pass the bridge. he sounds one long
whistle, y hich must be answered from
the bridge buy a like signal. II the
steamers whistle is not answered in s
reasonable time, from the bridge, i
should be repeated A number of shor
whistles sounded in quick succession
from the bridge, indicates that something
prevents the turning Of the draw. If a
any time, either channel (uorth or soutl
OF the draw pier) is unsafe, red sigma
will be displayed over that channel Will
the praw is open. and the vessel shoull
then take the other channel.

A CURIOUS CASE.
Its Subject Decides Not to Await
the Decision.

WASHINGTON, October. lin the
United States Supreme Court to-day
the murder case of Quinn Bohannon
against the State of Nebraska was
presented. Bohannon was on the
first trial found guilty of murder in
the second degree and sentenced to
imprisonment for life. He carried the
case to the State Supreme Court and
new trial was ordered. He was
tried second time on the same lin
dictment as before, and this time
found guilty of murder in the first de-
gree and sentenced to death. Being
again carried to the State Supreme
Court, the case now comes to this
court upon the ground that he, having
been tried and found guilty in the sec
ond degree, he could not be again put
on trial for murder in the first degree
without violation of the FNth amend
ment to the Constitution. Pending a
final decision, Bohannon has taken
the case into his own hands by escap-
ing from the Jail.
